Her name is Frances Jane

Sunday 21st

Her Name is Frances Jane. She is a Messerschmitt KR200 Dometop. My Name is Terry Smith, and we have been together for 25 years now, with permission from my wife, Frances. We have had our ups and downs. But she is behaving herself now, that is, Frances Jane, not Frances, my wife. She was a wreck when I bought her. However, after a complete strip-down, sandblasting, and respray, she is what you see today. As for myself, I am 75 years old and have been married to my dear Frances for 53 years. This is my first Gentlemen's drive, so I do not know whether I will make the distance or not. My car has a top speed of 50 mph. My problem is that any slight gradient reduces my speed drastically. We shall see.

Wish me luck.

 

Getting behind the wheel for The Distinguished Gentleman's Drive

Friday 11th On Sunday, September 28th 2025, I'll be taking part in The Distinguished Gentleman's Drive. Together with thousands of classic car enthusiasts around the world, I will be raising funds and awareness for prostate cancer and men's mental health for the charity, Movember.

Before the dapper day, I'll be looking to raise as much as possible for the cause, to help men around the world live happier and healthier lives. With men's chances of developing prostate cancer later in life increasing, and one man dying every minute by suicide, we must do all we can to prevent more men from suffering.

This is something that affects us all and together, we can make a change. Please give what you can.
